Love in Stages

Take it from me, the love you have is better than the love you once had.

Love cold as a winter's day

Loving you, has allowed me to see how happy I can be

Our love like Paris in the spring, blooming and full of zing

So sweet, amazing and fun...long talks and walks in the sun

Cute texts to say hi, saying how blessed you were to have me and why

Popping up out the blue, with candy and flowers, too

Oh, how I just knew you were finally, my dream come true

Spring turned to summer, love deep like someone in a slumber

We got cozy in our relationship, time spent joined at the hip

We loved every minute together, confident we could survive any weather

After all, you loved me and I would do my all for he

Dates always full fun things to do, there was no way I couldn't love you

You showed me a new way of living, to accept the love you were giving

The warmth of the hot summer days, gave way to the cool autumn faze

Where text would not be sent as often and dates became forgotten

Flowers sent as apologies now and time spent together was foreign somehow

Funny how we always made time, but now we're too busy to unwind

Oh, why didn't we try harder to hold on, reject our pride that imposed on

The love you & I shared, the love that we thought would never be spared

The more we tried to ignore the fact, that our love was no longer intact

The colder our love grew and before we knew it, we were through

Winter came in and froze our hearts, leaving us no option, but to depart

We have only memories of those glorious days gone by of you and I

Watch for the signs, question what is wrong and keep the love strong

Keep sending thoughtful gifts and text, keep that One closer than the next

Take it from me, the love you have is better than the love you once had
